“Around 5,000 people die every year as a result of breathing in asbestos fibres, making it the biggest single cause of work-related deaths in the UK.

“This campaign is about highlighting the risks and the steps people can take to protect themselves. We hope that by signposting trades people to information we can make them aware of the risks, think twice, and take precautions to stay safe.”

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) have produced a free web app for phones, tablets and laptops which helps workers to identify where they could come into contact with asbestos material as they go about their day-to-day work.
